-
Step 1
Gain some momentum by taking as many running steps as you can. Start with your right foot if you are right-handed, and your left foot if you are left-handed.
-
Step 2
Hop onto your dominant foot and hurtle yourself over, just as if you are doing a cartwheel but with more speed.
-
Step 3
Land on both feet at the same time.
-
Step 4
Jump as high as you can from the landing and land on your hands.
-
Step 5
Push off the ground with your hands, allowing the momentum you created with the running steps and the hurtle to drive your legs over.
-
Step 6
Hit the ground with both feet. Maintain momentum by leaping again and tucking your knees, grasping them with your arms.
-
Step 7
Remain in a tucked position as you spin and land on both feet.
-
Step 8
Finish your handspring back tuck in the proper position: arms up, back straight and looking straight ahead.
